Is America Pricing Itself
Out Of Its Own Markets?
A LIVELY CONTROVERSY has been raging around
the ability of foreign producers of gigantic turbines
and electrical equipment to underbid their American
competitors. A bid by the English Electric Company for
a set of turbines at the Greer S Ferry Dam in Arkan-
sas »wm rejected by the Department of Defense in favor
of a Philadelphia company, although the latter's bid
was $300,000 higher than that of the British company.
And TV A recently awarded a contract to a British com-
pany which underbid its American competitor by $5,*
900,000.
In both Instances American producers have complain-
ed that considerations of national defense should re-
strict such installations to American corporations, al-
though others suspect that unemployment in the areas
where turbines are produced was the basic reason for
barring the foreigners
Undoubtedly there "is merit to the national-defense
argument. However, when security is a factor, outsiders
should not be permitted to bid at all, instead of being
invited to spend large sums working up plans and speci-
fications, and then informed that the Buy American
Act bars them from taking the job. On such clumsi-
ness, good relations with our neighbors tend to founder.
As these episodes are repeated, people must surely
begin to ask: “Why are American firms underbid in a
field in which our industry has long been preeminent?”
The due to our difficuluy as a competitor in the in-
tarnational field was indicated by President Eisenhower
in a recent press conference. "I believe," said the
President, "that above everything else the United
States should keep its costs down and try to liberalize
trade-our costs are just too high.”
One factor in this unwieldy cost structure was
brought out in s set of studies by the National Indus-
trial Conference Board showing that wage costs repre-
sent an extraordinarily large portion of the national
income. The Board's statisticians declare that "after
exclusion of all taxes, labor gets eighty-throe cents
out of every dollar generated in the national economy.”
This leaves a narrow margin for capital investments—
the source of new equipment snd expanded plants—to
produce more jobs.
Undoubtedly somejof this gap is explained bv the
low standard of living of foreign workers: their willing-
ness—at least from necessity to work longer and
harder than wo want to work; the effect of depreciated
currencies and government subsidies. But there is,
just the same, a lot of fat in our cost structure which
can work to our serious disadvantage. For example,
Daniel P. Loomis, president of the Assn, of American
Bailroads, in s recent speech declared that feather-
bedding rules and regulations cost the country’s rail-
- roads an estimated $500,000,000 a year.
According to Roger M. Blough, chairman of the
board of united States Steel, "from 1940 through
1957, hourly employment costs in the "steel industry •
have gone up an average of 7.6 per cent per year for
17 solid years. And in contrast, the reports of the De-
partment of Labor show that output per man-hour has
risen by only 2 6 per cent per year.”
Featherbedding and shotgun wage increases in union-
ised Industries are, of course, not the only offenders.
There are undoubtedly considerable featherbedding
and expense-account shenanigans in the front offices
of many corporations. Government compounds the
felony by saddling the economy with the insatiable de-
mands of an expanding bureaucracy.
By snd large, the excessive demands of producers
are restrained by competition. As for the unions, al-
though they are often able to force wages for their
members beyond the point justified by productivity,
they must face the possibility that by too drastic wage
demands they could price themselves out of jobs.

SOUP8
As a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet, a soup by
any name tastes good.
The word soup designates any
fluid food made by boiling and
seasoning meat, fish or vegetables
or combination of these.
There are many names for soup,
as there are many kinds, accord-
ing to the ingredienta, preparation
and the country in which it to eat-
en
Chowder (chou der) from tho
French word for "pot" or "kettle"
to made of fresh fish or clama,
with salt pork, onion, potatoes, and,
usually, crackers and milk.
Pottage, or its more modern
French equivalent, potage ’po-
tash' to a thick soup made usual-
ly of moat and vegetables thor-
oughly cooked. .
Broth to the liquid (often con-
centrated) in which any meat or
vegetable has been boiled. Stock
to broth used as a basis for more
elaborate soup. Bouillon and con-
somme are concentrated and clar-
ified broths, tho former of beef
and the latter, usually of veal or
chicken.
Puree (du ray) to food boiled to
a pulp and rubbed through a sieve
or soup thickened with this.
Bisque (or bisk) is a rich cream
soup thickened with a puree, as of
tomato. It is often made of shell-
the dirt settles. My difficulties, of
course, go some years back and

at a horse show in 1951.)
Morse replied by suggesting

said: "This is part of an old pat

NEW YORK (AP)--The big problem in America today is
—how can the government live off everybody whan every-

Practically every government—federal, state or local is
running ihort of money. They also seem ^be running out

The City Council here, for example, has just voted a five
per cent tax on restaurant checks over a dollar. The tax was
voted in an atmosphere of apology to "the littleman,, a tac-

Senate to say yes or no. Morse,
who once held the Senate's endur-

Nothing like it has been heard
in recent years. One Republican
senator, Prescott Bush of Connec-
ticut, said there had never been
a more bitter attack on a presi-
dential nominee.
Morse not only accused Mrs.
Luce of being incompetent aa a
diplomat but aaid she was inel-
iectually dishonest. Ho recalled
that in 1944 she said President
Roosevelt had "lied us into war."

"Maybe," an eastern Kentucky
civic leader said. "we ahould se-

sion in the coal industry have

The secession proposal was de-
livered tongue-in-cheek, but many
a state official would get the
point. A chock of stale capitals
by The Associated Press indicates
that 19 states are encountering
some measure of financial diffi-
culty today.
Higher taxes are the common
remedy.
Cigarettes ore a favorite target
of the revenue hunters of 1959.
Sales and income tax increases
also are common.
WITHOLDING
Withholding plans for state in-
come taxes, which increase reve-
nue by cornering tax dodgers,
have been adopted by Utah, Mas-
sachusetts. South Caroline, and
New York. Five more states ere
seriously considering them.
Some tax programs have been
whoppers
Gov. Michael V. DiSalle of Ohio
has presented the Legislature with
plans to increase cigarette, beer,
corporation franchise, gasoline
and diesel fuel taxes. Sales taxes
are to be upped to produce some
119 million dollars in the next two
years. Adopted without change,
DiSalle's program would produce
360 million dollars in new revenue
in the next two years.
REVENUE RAISED
New York raised its tax reve-
nue 239 million dollars The Penn-
aylvania Legislature is studying
GW- David 1 Lawrence’s pro-1
posal for an additional 237 million
in taxes to balance the record-
breaking biennial budget of $1,907,-
000,000. The lawmakers have al-
ready raised tho three per cent
sales tax to 3% per cent, making
it second only to Washington
state's four per cent.
Getting e new tax program ap-
proved isn't an easy matter. The
Minnesota Legislature adjourned
April 24 after 3% months of work
without finding the 84 million dol-
lars needed to balance Gov. Or-
ville L. Freeman's proposed 470-
million-dollar budget.
Tho governor, who has recom-
mended increases in liquor, ciga-
rette, tobacco, iron ore. gifts, in-
heritances and income taxes,
